Census
1880 census of Morgan Co., Ky, Hamptons Mill district 87, enumerated in June, lists on p. 4 as family #28:
Goodpaster, John, 28, laborer; Sarah, 58* (see note below), mother, widowed; Lucy A., 30, sister, single. All born in Kentucky.
Sarah is really John’s stepmother. Her age was originally entered as 38, and then “corrected”: in darker ink to 58, presumably because the census taker figured 38 was too young to be John’s mother, but really the original age was correct and the relationship wrong.
